Question
An object is placed in front of a convex mirror. Its image is formed :a) at a distance equal to the object distance in front of the mirror.b) at twice the distance of the object in front of the mirror.c) half the distance of the object in front of the mirror.d) behind the mirror and it’s position varies according to the object dista
Solution
The correct answer is d) behind the mirror and its position varies according to the object distance.
Here's why:
A convex mirror, also known as a diverging mirror, always forms a virtual, upright, and diminished image. This image is formed behind the mirror, not in front of it. The exact position of the image depends on the object distance from the mirror. As the object moves closer to or further from the mirror, the image's position will also change accordingly.
So, options a), b), and c) are incorrect because they suggest the image is formed in front of the mirror, which is not the case with a convex mirror.
